Random quote picker out of data base

[Antonio1]

hey guys,
I am trying to create a random quote feature in my app where everytime you click on the random picker button the random quote (out of my database) will appear above the random-picker button. with the hopes of gaining the knowledge I have been watching countless videos and trying to understand something, but in the end the only thing that I gain is frustration. there seems like something is going wrong everytime, so i really hope that someone can help me solve this problem. thanks!

kind regards,

Antonio
